Arts Minor
|
|
The minor in Arts enables students to explore art from three distinct yet related approaches: history (contextual analysis of visual, architectural, and aural formats), theory (critical and creative interpretation of texts) and practice (application of techniques and concepts).
|
Lower Division Minor Requirements [8 units]
- One lower division GASP course
- One lower division ARTS course
Upper Division Minor Requirements [16 units]
- A minimum of four upper division ARTS or GASP courses
Program Learning Outcomes
Students participating in the Global Arts Studies Program (GASP) will be able to:
- Describe visual and aural texts in technical and theoretical terms
- Become familiar with multiple schools of thoughts in art history/visual studies and/or musicology/ethnomusicology.
- Analyze cultural, visual, aural, and spatial procedures within their historical and conceptual contexts.
- Integrate theory into creative practices.
The following guidelines pertain to all SSHA minors:
- To complete any SSHA minor, students must complete a minimum of five courses, at least four of which must be upper division.
- All courses must be taken for a letter grade.
- All minor course requirements must be completed with a C- or better.
- A minimum overall grade point average of 2.0 (C) in upper division courses is required. The only exception is a minor in Arts, for which the minimum GPA in upper division courses is 2.7 (B-).
- At least three of the five required courses must be taken at UC Merced.
- Only one course may be used simultaneously to satisfy requirements for two minors.
- Only one course may be used to satisfy both a minor and a major requirement.
- Students must consult the UC Merced General Catalog for prerequisites to required courses.
